This bасkdoor аppliеd itself upоn your system аnd provides me full entry to every оne of yоur аccоunts, еmails, filеs, сontacts еtc.

While yоu cheсked out thеse adult intеrnet sitеs i аctivated сamеrа оf your deviсе and rеcоrded a few \/idеo сlips and toоk vаrious scrеenshоts оf yоu as you "plеasеd yoursеlf"…. if you knоw whаt i mean.


Sо i have gоt acсеssibility to your еmаil acсounts, to yоur dеvice, i have sоme quitе compromising piсtures and clips оf yоu and i havе every оnе оf your еmail and soсial media contаcts. Nо mattеr hоw oftеn you аdjust your usernаme and pаssword, my bасkdоor will invariаbly аllоw me сomplete acсess to your deviсе.

Yоu’re able tо ignore this mаil, dеlivered frоm yоur оwn privаte aсcоunt. In this саse i will dеlivеr eaсh of the pictures and videоs i possеs of you "satisfying yоurself" to eаch of your contаcts. Furthermоrе yоur devicе will lоck up in a spеcifiс amоunt оf timе аnd сan nеver bе usеd agаin.

What shоuld you dо? Yоu nееd to sеnd 817 EUR to my ƅitcoin аddrеss. Seаrch Gоogle, lots оf websitеs offer ƅitcoin utilizing a dеbit оr сredit cаrd аnd the proсеss is rеally fast.

My ƅitcoin addess:1Q2E78esVTNQBwsbJohvhNAweCRH2BsF5q.

Frоm the mоmеnt yоu read this mеssаgе yоu triggerеd а timer. My system will now monitоr this ƅitcoin аddrеss fоr any inbоund finаnciаl trаnsactiоns. Yоu hаvе fifty hоurs. In саse yоu dо nоt mаkе thе transасtiоn within this timefrаme yоur system will lосk up, еvеn if you disсоnnect frоm the internеt or сhangе аll yоur online passwords. Additionаlly аll yоur rеlаtiоnships will obtаin аll thе nаsty piсtures and clips i hаvе of yоu.


If the monеy has соme in time, my setup will instantly shut dоwn thе bасkdoor оn yоur platform аnd erаsе аll thе data, piсs аnd mоviеs i posses оf you аnd you will nеvеr еvеr hear frоm mе аgain then yоu cаn gо оn tо livе your lifе like this never happеn.

Gоod luck!

Bye bye reece its been a blast. :yeah:

What a load of tosh, if that was sent to me I would say many thanks for your email you do realise I am a police officer and very capable of finding you.

If I got that email the fool clearly has got some things wrong about me which of course I will not say here.

[Reece]

The thing is the return email is my address so no use contacting 'him', what worries me is to how he can email me from me. :hmmm:
The gist of it is that he supposedly has control of my system and has pictures on me viewing porn, which is crap since I only have an old XP system with no webcam!!:timeout:
The guy is just a nasty piece of crap, I dare say there would be a lot of people actually paying him his money. :doh:

Should I go here? https://haveibeenpwned.com/

[STEED]

I can not be on the ball with this as this was many years ago, I started getting spam email from unknown email address or mind. Any how could not block it so I just changed my email address and since then never had the issue.

On a separate note on my desktop pc google keep me doing there prove you are not a robot test as we have picked up on suspect behaviour. Really? I hardly use the desktop pc theses days, I go weeks without using it.

I agree reece these people are scum and as you are smart you saw it for what it was.

[Jimbuna]

Received an almost identical email back in July Reece https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=241884 unfortunately the image is missing.

Perform a full scan and you should come across a Trojan (forgot the name of the bugga now :oops:).

Mine was located in an image of an old war game for the pc.

I used Windows Defender.

[Onkel Neal]

I got so many of these I lost count :up:

[Jimbuna]

You must be watching a lot more porn than Reece then :haha:

[mapuc]

I haven't got any yet.

Many Danes and Swedes have received those emails.

IT'S GOTTA BE TARJAC!:hmmm: If I've crossed a line the infract, brig or keelhaul me for it. If I see bigotry then I call it what it is. Whether you or anyone else call it lazy, I don't care.

If you're happy for Subsim to be a vehicle for hate, then that's fine I 'll be on my way. HE'S ALWAYS USED THE BACKDOOR APPROACH....AND REECE IS A FELLOW DOWNUNDERER TO BOOT!:O:

[Jimbuna]

Aye, the York Meet and a pretty unconvincing Photoshop from Tony as I recall :hmmm:

[VipertheSniper]

smtp= simple mail transfer protocol

It is indeed so simple, that it allows you to send an email from any address you like, of course you're not really in charge of the mail account, but you can just put any random address as the sender. It really needs to die rather sooner than later.

Seen that mail pop up a few times on some work e-mail addresses.

@Reece

Just found some notes on my pc desk from the time period in question (July)

The bugga was called 'Trojan:Win32/Rundas!plock'

Follow the steps outlined in the link below and that should sort it.

[Mr Quatro]

Hey Reece! Just stick to female porn and you'll probably stop getting those queer messages ... :haha::up::Kaleun_Cheers:

And I thought this was another Brexit thread.

Groovy. :yeah:

[Reece]

Thanks for the advice, I have downloaded TDSSKiller Jim and scanned, the system comes up clean, good to know. :up:
Am running my old Avira virus program, haven't done it for a while. :yep:

[HW3]

It's called e-mail address spoofing Reece, they really have not taken over your email account, or your computer for that matter.

[Reece]

Thanks, my porn pictures are safe! :up:

In my own experience I found a full scan with Windows Security would find the trojan.

[Rhodes]

Thanks, my porn pictures are safe! :up:
I store mine in the cloud...:D

[Reece]

Cloud Nine ?:hmmm:

[Rhodes]

Cloud X or triple XXX! :03:

[Platapus]

You nasty man.


Next time tape over the computer camera lens.


Uh, I read about that on the Internet. :oops:

[mapuc]

This was the first thing I did, when I got my new computer-covered the camera with duck tape.

Before and after I have read and heard people in charge telling people to cover they camera.

Reminds me of the time I got locked out with ransomware from the 'West midland police', (even though I'm not in their area) threatening me with a court case for downloading Warez and and other illegal activity - unless i paid them a tidy sum of course.
Restored my system from a recovery point and all was well.

I had a similar thing like that but in my case I bought a new pc as that one was old and was showing signs it was about to conk out any day. Slight different was they demanded I pay £10,000 the next day and every day that slipped by not paying them additional £5,000 a day on top be charged. And by the end of the week any property I had would be taken away from me. Bunch of their ransom on the harddrive was removed with a hammer. :har:

[Reece]

That one is laughable STEED, £10,000 + £5,000 for each day not paid, is too ridiculous, you'd think these guys would come up with a more realistic scenario!! :haha:

It's quite worrying when you take into account some people pay up.

Most of us can spot dumb scams but some don't and it's them these vermin pray on.

I told my mother-in-law to do that and she used clear cello-tape. :rotfl2:

The drummer in my band came to practice one day all excited. He told me that he and his girlfriend had received an email telling him that if he sent US$500 to the sender, he would get something like $5,000 in return. I laughed and said "You didn't send it though, right?" He had a puzzled look on his face and replied "Yeah, we did. ... Why?"


I asked him if he was serious and he said he was. He didn't seem to understand why I was questioning the idea at all. I had the unfortunate task of explaining to him that his money was gone forever and that he would never see one cent in return. I felt really bad for the guy. He's a good man and I couldn't believe that he fell for it. We were fairly young and that was probably the majority of his savings at the time. :nope:

[JU_88]

Damn^ poor guy.

Well if you need cheering up there is no shortage of Youtube Videos
Showing Scammers getting scammed or people just generally playing along while messing with them and driving them completely nuts.

Nothing is free.


I would suggest if you are getting lots of spam and scams change your email address and stop giving it out to the world.
